Durango.7 - Metrics Overhaul Preparation

•

🛠️ 🛠️ #Avalanche Durango 7 is out: github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/releases/tag/v1.11.7 🛠️ 🛠️ This version (v1.11.7) is backwards compatible to v1.11.0. It is optional but recommended for all operators. 🔍 Focus: State Sync Robustness + Reduce DB Compaction Rate + Prepare for Metrics Overhaul

✅ Compatibility Check: VM Interface (v35) ✅ Durango 7 DOES NOT modify the VM interface. If you are running a Custom VM on v1.11.3-v1.11.6 (like Subnet-EVM@v0.6.5), it will work with v1.11.7. github.com/ava-labs/subnet-evm/releases/tag/v0.6.5

State Sync Robustness Durango 7 fixes a C-Chain State Sync panic bug (github.com/ava-labs/coreth/pull/568) and incorrect ETA estimates (github.com/ava-labs/coreth/pull/565). Thanks to @darioush0 and @jceyonur for implementing these improvements 🙏.

Reduce DB Compaction Rate Durango 6 introduced a bootstrapping regression that was ultimately caused by compacting the database too frequently. @stephenbuttolph explained this issue in detail and implemented a fix here: github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/pull/3065

Prepare for Metrics Overhaul To prepare for the upcoming metrics overhaul (github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/pull/3053), a number of metrics cleanup PRs were included in Durango 7. The full metrics overhaul is expected to be included in Durango 8. x.com/_patrickogrady/status/1793675907733111107
